madeleines (GF)

What can I say?
Make them and try them, they are delicious.

I bought the madeleine mold in France (where else!) in a wowee hypermarché.
I love them, it’s a village on it’s own; they have literally everything, from bread to bowling tools, fresh fish to all kinds of canned fish and other goodies, the “latest” fashion items, shoes, underwear, books, great wines, organic food, local products, glass and tableware etc. You can dine there, let your shoes repair, do your banking business, get the cheapest fuel.
After shopping there half of your day is gone and you’re dead tired.
There is some strange (no day)light and aircon atmosphere and it’s so big.
But, you can enjoy yourself for quite a time, and spent your money, Pff.

Back to baking business.
I read a lot about making madeleines (Yes, also Proust) and tried some recipes. I still remember the madeleines I ate when I was 10 years old in a very small village bakery in the Dordogne. They were heaven.

These beauties are no remake, because they are gluten free and I decided to use buckwheat flour and make them far less sweet than they are usually. The buckwheat gives them more bite and a nuttiness I really like.
I hope you do too.

Over mij

Since november 2007 celiac disease has been diagnosed with me and did I start with the gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I'm very interested in health and food issues. And besides, I Love Cooking. I think cooking is creating. I'm not content with the gluten free range of products in the shops in Holland, so I make most of the food myself. I think gluten free food must be healthy, real food, but above all very tasty. Also non-celiacs must (and they do!) enjoy my food.
I am 50 years old and I live, together with my son, in Rotterdam, Holland.***
Sinds november 2007 is bij mij coeliakie geconstateerd en ben ik begonnen met een glutenvrij dieet. Ik ben erg geïnteresseerd in gezondheid en voeding. Daarnaast ben ik gek op koken. Ik ben niet tevreden over het aanbod van glutenvrije artikelen in de winkels, dus maak ik vrijwel alles zelf. Glutenvrij eten moet lekker zijn, gezond en ook voor niet-coeliakers aantrekkelijk zijn.
